Canon Has a New Round of Summer Rebates

Canon created a new set of rebates after the previous rebates expired on July 5. Unfortunately, the instant rebates of the previous round are gone (aside from the instant savings on the EOS 7D).

Saying the previous rebates were "extended" would be a bit of a misnomer. While most of the same items are eligible for rebates, many of the rebate amounts are slightly less than they were just last month. And this round of rebates seems a bit more complicated than they have been in years past.

For example, if you buy one of these bodies:

EOS 6D

EOS 7D

EOS 70D

EOS 60D

You qualify for a rebate on these specific lenses:

Lens

Rebate Amount

EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

$300.00

EF 100mm f/2 USM

$100.00

EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM

$150.00

EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM

$100.00

Note that these lenses do not qualify for the other mail-in rebate which covers lens-only purchases.

Of course, Canon also has printer rebates. Purchasing one of the following cameras with a PIXMA PRO-1, PRO-10, or PRO-100 qualifies you for a $300.00 mail-in rebate:

EOS-1D X

EOS 5D Mark III

EOS 6D

EOS 7D

EOS 70D

EOS 60D

EOS Rebel T5i

EOS Rebel SL1

EOS Rebel T3i

EOS Rebel T5

EOR Rebel T3

PowerShot G1 X

PowerShot G16

PowerShot G15

PowerShot S120

PowerShot S110

Unfortunately, I was told by Canon USA's Marketing Department that the rebates aren't stackable. So if you bought a Canon EOS 6D, EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM and PIXMA PRO-100, you would not receive $600.00 in rebates (only $300.00).

As usual, DSLR rebates will vary depending on whether you buy a body only or a lens kit.
